- Abstract
This article presents the actual state of the incorporation of HCI-related academic subjects to some Mexican universities' academic programs. The research approach was exploratory and descriptive, also having a quantitative scope. The research considered the 5.543 registered universities in all of Mexico in 2019. Results show that 1.266 universities offer undergraduate and technical programs in the Information and Communications Technology field, from which 42.58% include 1.548 courses related to HCI in their academic programs that are part of 1.813 curricula. The courses were then classified into 10 categories proposed by the ACM/IEEE-CS "Joint Curriculum Task Force Computing Curricula". Additionally, in relation to human capital, it was found that 95.40% of the graduates of academic programs that include subjects related to HCI obligatorily had to pass these subjects and 4.30% had the possibility of taking elective subjects related to HCI. At the same time, after the review of 4 vacancy disclosure platforms, 24,827 job-related offers were found that in their specifications indicate skills and knowledge related to the HCI. This shows that Mexican universities have curricula that meet specific needs of the productive sector, at least in the field of HCI, which shows the importance of this area of knowledge in that country.
